Import CSV data with repeat group

[pkjoshi]

I tried importing csv file exported from excel, it is import the data for the primary group just fine. But not data is getting imported for repeat group.

For a test case I created a record in Fabrik filling all the fields including repeat group. Then I exported the data in CSV import.

Not there are two problems I am facing like.

1. I have created just one record having two repeat group. No data is entered in first repeat group. two records were entered in the second repeat group. Now the imported data is resulting in 4 rows instead of two.
2. The repeat group fields are remaining blank except the ID field.

Note: In the CSV export settings I have included the full element name for export.

I am really out of idea what I am doing wrong and how to import data in repeat group.

Thanks.

hi
Importing into repeating group's isn't possible - CSV data is really only ever designed to represent single row items. See the WIKI note I added earlier today :

No issue Rob,
I have managed it importing directly through PhpMyAdmin.
Any way thanks for the reply.
